Martha Burk is back in golf, encouraging people to join a protest over the U.S. Womens Open being held next year at Trump National in New Jersey.She made the call for supporters in a blog for The Huffington Post on Friday.Burk rose to prominence in 2002 when she challenged Augusta National to end its discrimination by inviting a female member, suggesting it could become a problem at the Masters. The club chairman, Htie Johnson, sent her a scathing reply that the club might one day have female members, but not at the point of a bayonet.Augusta National didnt budge in the wake of enormous pressure from Burk and the media, even going so far as to go commercial-free for the 2003 Masters. Burks protest fizzled in a grassy lot. Nine years later, the club added its first two women.Burk remains with the National Council of Womens Organizations as the director of its corporate accountability project.The USGA, PGA Tour, LPGA and PGA of America released a joint statement last August to distance themselves from Donald Trumps explosive comments about Mexican immigrants when he announced his campaign for president.The PGA of America canceled its Grand Slam of Golf exhibition at Trump National in Los Angeles. The presumptive GOP nominee has golf courses in New Jersey and outside Washington that are to be used for the U.S. Womens Open next year, the PGA Championship and the Senior PGA Championship.Seems the United States Golf Association, no stranger to hypocrisy, refuses to move next years U.S. Womens Open from the Trump-owned Bedminster club, even though the USGA issued a public statement condemning Trumps racist views after his `Mexican rapist rant when he announced his candidacy, Burk wrote.Burk referenced the Augusta National protest and said the USGA ignored its prohibition against holding events at clubs that discriminate. However, the USGA has no standing over players at the Masters. It runs 13 championships, 10 of them restricted to amateurs.Burk said the USGA was putting profit over principle, and that the LPGA also was being silent on the decision.USGA spokeswoman Janeen Driscoll said the organization is focused on conducting the best championship we can for the players, the spectators, the fans and the volunteers, both this year and a year from now. She noted that Bedminster is in compliance with the USGAs anti-discriminatory member policy.During his presidential campaign, Mr. Trump has made some remarks that are at odds with our belief that golf should be welcoming and inclusive for all. We have reiterated that we do not share his views, and that is still true, she said in an email.The LPGA said all decisions about the venue for the U.S. Open are made by the USGA.We fully expect to keep the U.S. Womens Open on our 2017 schedule, and support the decisions made by the USGA on this matter, LPGA spokesman Kraig Kann said.Burk concluded her blog by posting a link to a petition to force the USGA to play next years Womens Open somewhere else.American golfer Gerina Pillar said she preferred to stay out of the debate.If its a gd course, its a gd course, she said from this years U.S. Womens Open. I dont really see getting into politics. Its just one of those things where if its a gd course and they see it fit to host an event there, I think that thats OK.---AP Sports Writer Josh Dubow in San Martin, California, contributed to this report.

VILLARS LES DOMBES, France -- Nairo Quintana must seize every chance in the Tour de France to gain time on race leader Chris Frme -- starting with Sundays 15th stage -- to keep his winning hopes alive, believes former world champion Maurizio Fondriest.Quintana, 26 and runner-up to Frme in 2013 and 2015, has perplexed many with his race so far in light of his scintillating form coming in to the Tour.Some believe the Colombian is biding his time for the third and last week in the Alps to strike -- such an approach might be fraught with danger as he could run out of time. However, there is now growing belief that Quintanas form may possibly be dipping.Such a prospect was triggered Thursday by his laboured attacks on Frme in stage 12 to Mont Ventoux. They came before Frme, Australian Richie Porte (BMC) and Dutchman Bauke Mollema (Trek-Segafredo) broke away, only to crash into a French television motor bike blocked by the crowds, which allowed Quintana and the others to catch and pass them.Then in Fridays stage 13 time-trial from Bourg-Saint-Andèol to La Caverne du Pont DArc Quintana lost 2:05 to Frme, who was second at 1:03 seconds to Dutch winner Tom Dumoulin (Trek-Segafredo). Quintana fell from third to fourth overall at 2:59 to Frme.The top overall places remained unchanged after Saturdays 14th stage, 208.5km from Montélimar to Villars les Dombes where British flyer Mark Cavendish (Dimension Data) claimed his fourth stage win this years Tour and the 30th of his career; this time outsprinting beating German Marcel Kittel (Etixx-QuickStep) and Slovakian Peter Sagan (Tinkoff).Frme still leads overall by 1:47 over second placed Mollema and 2:45 over Briton Adam Yates (Orica-BikeExchange), who is in third and also has the white best young riders jersey.Like many, Fondriest, who won the 1988 world road title in Ronse, Belgium, believes Frme is box seated to win a third Tour when the race finishes in Paris on Sunday week.I think so because we saw him [make] a move in the descent [of the Col de Peyresourde to win stage eight], on the flat stage [stage 11 to Montpellier where Frme was second] and [on] Mont Ventoux, Fondriest told ESPN Saturday. He is the strongest rider in the Tour.Yesterday [Friday] he gained two minutes against Quintana. I think hes the favourite for this Tour.But Fondriest will not discount Quintana, so long as he makes inroads into his time deficit.He must try something. Maybe tomorrow, Fondriest said,, referring to Sundays 15th stage from Bourg-en-Bresse to Culoz that includes six categorised climbs, among those the Hors category Grand Colombier and Lacets du Grand Colombier inside the last 60 kilometres.ddddddddddddHe [has] to try because the last week is very tough ... a lot of mountain stages and one time trial, but the time trial is uphill. He [has]to try because otherwise his Tour is finished. But ... the Tour de France is three weeks and until the end you dont know whats happened.Meanwhile, Fondriest was less optimistic about the opportunities for fellow Italian Fabio Aru (Astana) who made the Tour his main goal this year, hoping to make the podium.Aru, who won the Vuelta a Espa?a last year after finishing second in the Giro dItalia, was placed 10th overall at the start after stage 14, at 5:16 to Frme and 3:29 off the podium.Aru is confident he can come strong next week in the Alps, but he realises that he needs others who are placed higher than him to have bad days as much as he requires gd days.Asked if the podium was out of reach for Aru, Fondriest said: I dont know because he lost time yesterday t. Maybe it is difficult. But at the Vuelta last year he showed a gd thing in the last week. I guess he can try. He can try to dot he podium but its not easy for him.Fondriest was more optimistic about how -- or where to -- Nibali is tracking in this Tour. After winning the Giro on May 29, the Sicilian tk 10 days off without even riding the bike.The reason was not just to recover from his taxing efforts in the Giro, but also to allow him re-build towards another form peak for the Olympic Games road race at Rio next month. Nibali, the 2014 champion, came to the Tour to help Aru.Nibali, 33rd overall at 50:47, helped Aru in stage nine to Andorra Arcalis in the Pyrénees. After Aru was dropped, Nibali helped him limit his time loss to Frme to one minute.But Nibali, who has also suffered a back complaint, has otherwise been unable to provide Aru with the consistent optimal help that had been intended throughout the Tour so far. Still, Fondriest is also confident that Nibali will come strong in the third week of the Tour.He is not in gd form, but he can find the form in the last week, Fondriest said. He can try to gain ... to win a stage and prepare the Olympic Games. This is the main goal. ' ' '
